about me

More about me and how I can help you

 

Hi, I’m Ruth John —a 5-star, multi award-winning holistic practitioner based in Barry, South Wales, working online and in person across South Wales and the UK. 

I created Reset Wellbeing TM, a dedicated Wellbeing Studio, to ethically and professionally to support people through life’s most challenging transitions in a calming and beautiful space.

I’m qualified in multiple therapeutic modalities, some including:

  • Holistic Counselling & Art Therapy
  • Functional and Therapeutic Breathwork
  • Somatic Reprocessing
  • Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
  • Cold Water and Contrast Therapy
  • Sound Therapy and Meditation
  • Inner Child & Parts Work
 

My approach blends science-backed therapies with a warm, down-to-earth presence. I believe being well should feel safer, empowering, and deeply human—not clinical or overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating grief, trauma, or a difficult diagnosis, I offer a space where you can feel seen, supported, and gently guided toward lasting change.

Who I Work With

In my daytime practice, I predominantly support individuals facing:

  • Grief and bereavement
  • Trauma recovery
  • Chronic illness or difficult diagnoses
  • Emotional dysregulation and nervous system imbalance
 

Using a trauma and nervous system-informed, integrative approach, I help clients regulate their nervous system, shift limiting beliefs, and reconnect with their inner resilience.

This takes place in my uniquely designed 12 Week Reset Wellbeing Programme, if we’re seeking lasting change this takes time. 

Outside of 1:1 sessions, I also run Signature Group Resets, therapeutic retreats, and training qualifications that welcome anyone curious about the benefits of complementary therapies. 

These group experiences are designed to be inclusive, empowering, and deeply restorative—whether you’re navigating something specific or simply seeking a more aligned way to live.

A Little More About Me

I live in Barry with my young family and our beloved Show Type Cocker Spaniel, Clover, who’s currently in training to become a Therapy Dog. Clover brings a gentle, intuitive energy to my work and is already adored by clients.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring the local beaches and forests, experimenting with essential oils, crafting or dreaming up new ways to make holistic healing more accessible and impactful.

Why Work With Me?

  • Multi award-winning and 5-star rated
  • Qualified in Holistic Counselling, Breathwork, Somatic Therapy, EFT, Sound Therapy, and more
  • Trauma-informed, ethical, and professional
  • Compassionate, relatable, and deeply intuitive
  • Committed to helping you create real, lasting change

If you’re ready to explore how complementary therapies can support your personal growth journey—or simply want to learn more—I’d love to connect.

The sound bath I went to with Ruth, was so blissful and so relaxing. Ruth makes you feel at ease straight away with her calm voice and professional manner. Fabulous. 5 stars.

I went for a 1:1 session with Ruth where she performed reiki, a sound bath and talking therapy.
She was absolutely fabulous.
She was very knowledgeable and professional throughout and made me feel very comfortable.
Thank you so much Ruth! Can’t wait for another session.🙏🏼

I took my dad for a Sound Bath at Ruth's and it was wonderful. The set up is so welcoming and relaxing even before you start. We loved the tea ceremony and hand cleansing, it really did set you up for the experience you were just going to receive. The Sound Bath was beautiful and me and my dad left feeling cleansed and invigorated. Thank you so much Ruth. You are such a kind soul and we can't wait to come back to your welcoming sanctuary.

A beautiful day, spent with the best bunch of ladies, most of whom I'd never met. A retreat for women, providing a safe and supportive space made possible by the special collaboration between my amazing coach @jesswilsonpt and the wonderful @reset_with_ruth with their specialisms complimenting each other beautifully.

Attended by Women with open hearts and minds, investing in and prioritising their physical and mental wellbeing. Demonstrating strength 💪 in more ways than one. After a very tough week, I left the event feeling calm and mentally at peace, and had the best night's sleep.

Highly recommended to anyone who might be interested in future opportunities.

I attended my first breath work workshop last week, I had little idea what to expect, Well it was amazing, Ruth is a fabulous tutor, the studio is perfect. I have menopausal insomnia and struggle to get 4 hours of 40% quality sleep. I left the work shop ‘floating’ I slept for 8 hours at 89% quality. It’s years since I felt that good. Thank you can’t wait to return.
Ps also highly recommend Ruth’s sound bath xxx

Ruth is the most beautiful soul and I’m eternally grateful that I found her on my healing journey. Ruth has been an integral part of my healing and I’ll be forever grateful. She is so kind, compassionate and warm, and the healing energy that she exudes is profound. I’ve attended private sessions along with group sessions and I’ve left every single one of those sessions as a more healed version of myself. Thank you for everything Ruth, the world is so lucky to have you and the beautiful work you do

Attended a wonderful Reset session with Ruth. I attended on my own and was made to feel so welcomed and at ease. Ruth explained the session well and introduced us to emotional inquiry and some beautiful oils, before easing us into a magnificent sound bath. I will definitely be attending another. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Had such a lovely experience from start to finish, very welcoming and well organised you could really see the attention to detail in everything that was set up for us and how it was set up, fantastic venue, beautiful country side and sea side, home cooked vegan, gluten free and dairy free meals catered to all. I’m so grateful that I took the opportunity to come on the retreat, i definitely got what I came for out of it as well as a lot of extra tools to help me on my journey, if your looking to delve deeper in to your emotional/ spiritual blockages then this is definitely the retreat for you, I felt empowered, recharged and invigorated when I left! Thank you Ruth

What a lovely wintering reset session. Time out to rest and reflect ????

Update: I can't add a separate review so having to tag on to my last one.
* I have just attended a therapeutic retreat weekend. The setting, treatments, opportunity to explore and elevate self awareness was wonderful. This unique experience would not have been possible without the care, meticulous planning, trauma aware space and expert treatments/interventions from Ruth. Thank you for being so patient, kind, thoughtful, reassuring, and providing a physically and emotionally nourishing weekend. Truly a brilliant practitioner x

The retreat was absolutely amazing, and truly one of the best experiences of my life. Not only feeling safe to be vulnerable in front of a group of women, but also watch them share their stories and do the same. We laughed and cried together the whole weekend, my mind has never felt so clear. Ruth is absolutely amazing at what she does, her knowledge and experience is to a very high standard, and her quality of work and results speak volumes. I will always be truly greatful to have found her because she has definitely changed my life ❤xxx

I have attended a few of Ruth's sessions from conscious connected breathwork and sound baths at the beautiful wellbeing hub, to sessions at the beach teaching us breathwork techniques for cold water therapy. Each time has been a truly unique and memorable experience. I've struggled with my mental health over the years, and breathwork has really had a huge positive impact in my life. Ruth has showed and encouraged me to explore it in much more intense way. She really is an amazing presence and fantastic at what she does. Whether you're looking to relax, meditate, connect with your body and mind on a deeper level, release trauma/anxiety or proccess grief then ruth will guide you through it every step of the way ????

Since moving to Barry last year I have been lucky enough to join Ruth at 3 of her different offerings. From breath work and a dip at Whitmore Bay to a 1-2-1 session and a siren circle. Each experience has been unique and truly magical. She definitely lives up to her name. After a session with Ruth you do feel reset, restored and renewed. Thank you x

I attended a session with Ruth on Thursday and although the session started slightly later than it should have Ruth explained we would still have the whole hour and apologised profusely to everyone who had arrived on time about the late start. Ruth ran a fantastic class, I only paid £15 for a whole hour of bliss in a beautiful setting with a beautiful lady. I will 100% be attending again. I also really appreciate the extra time you put into the class to show us some breathing techniques to use ourselves at home, this was priceless.

Ruth recently supported my Paseda360 annual MeTreat and took 14 of our guests through a breath-work session.
Ruth set the room up beautifully with rugs, pillows, eye-pillows, incense, music, sound-bowls and more. It looked fabulous.
She then guided us through a 90-minute session, during which she ensured everyone was well supported. It was a wonderful session and I have booked Ruth to return for next year’s event. She is professional, caring and an expert in her field.
